Five Houses belonging to the Kashmiri Pandit Community in South Kashmir's Anantnag district were completely gutted in a fire incident. The fire broke during the night hours in the Mattan area of Anantnag, destroying the old houses of the Kashmiri Pandit community. The Jammu and Kashmir Police have registered a case and started investigating the cause of the fire.
The members of the Kashmiri Pandit community living outside Kashmir allege that the fire was caused to threaten the Kashmiri Pandit Community and dissuade them from coming back to the Valley.
The National Conference Party leaders said that they stand united with Kashmiri Pandit brethren in Mattan, Anantnag, following the tragic fire that destroyed several houses. They also said that one of the affected houses holds deep sentimental value as it was the maternal home of our Additional Spokesperson, Umesh Talashi. They further added that this loss of property is deeply emotional and significant, and they call on the authorities to conduct a swift and thorough investigation to bring the culprits to justice.
